I am guessing the wires are hidden under the molding above the carpet, if this is the case and the installers use quarter round you will need to think about the wires as these will now be visible.
If you are after an installation with all of the wiring hidden, you may want to contact one of the local audio visual companies and get an estimate for the new wiring. Feel free to send me a PM and we can discuss further over the phone.
Thank you VT as always. I am almost 2000 miles from TV right now but your advice is helpful. How do I make sure the speakers are off before I try unwiring them? I don’t know if I am going to have these speakers reinstalled. They are quite old. I wonder what you think of a Sonos system instead?
